| I'm new to the forum. I have a 2000 300M that just went out of extended warranty. Suddenly the remote lock won't work. I also noticed that the analog clock stopped working. Can anybody help with my problem? Thanks! | |

I have a 2000 300m with 76,000 miles. Before I bought the car I looked at it's Mpg. It was said to have 16 Mpg (City) 24 Mpg (Highway). I live in the suburbs so I expected to get about 18 Mpg. Atm I am getting 10.2 Mpg. I'm no mechanic so I was wondering what may need to be done/changed to get better Mpg. I know the way you drive also effects Mpg but I don't burn-out or accelerate too fast. Thx in advance.

Any knocking or pinging? Seems like you might've picked up one that the previous owner insisted on running low grade gas. (Or you might be running low grade gas.) |

I have a 99 300m with 84k on it. I am new to the forum and while reading many messages, I was unfortunately shaking my head in agreement with many of your headaches already posted. In regards the speed sensor, I had to the same issue however mine was a little more expensive for the service charge. My recent stint is the car was misfiring the other day when I started it up before work. I drove in the driveway and the check engine light was blinking (which manual says is pulgs because it was blinking, not steady on). So last night I changed all since plugs with OE Champion plugs. When I started the car, it was doing the same, I looked under the hood and could see an Arch in the plug housing. So I had that replaced, it appeared to have a very minimal crack. Now, this morning on my way to work(and last night), the car seemed fine. Until I got to stop-an-go traffic and the car seems to misfire again once I am in DRIVE at a complete stop. Then I can accelerate again and its fine. When I parked my car this morning, sitting in park is no problem. I did read it could take 30-60 miles for the car's brain to re-level and adjust to the changes, is this the case?? Any one have any comments??? Thanks |

i am currently considering purchasing a 00 300M. i dont really know all that much about cars but i do know that i love the way the car looks and drives. i really love all of the awesome features and the sunroof. i also found a 00 300m for only $5500 asking. i am very sure this could be a $4500 deal. the only downside that i see is the car has 166,00 mi...... that is really alot of miles. i dont know whether this car is going to be more of a headache than a great car to drive. i notice that many of you are having trouble and youre only at 100k or less.... does this mean the major problems are fixed by now?? or are there more to come?? some one help me!!!

Lately my check engine has been coming on (not flashing). I bought a new gas cap, because it would seen that it would get loose then that is when the light came on. Recently now the light is coming on and sometimes when driving it feels that the car cuts out when stepping on the gas. I have revved the engine up to almost 4000 rpm before it cuts out when in park or neutral. The light usually stays on for a day or two then goes off. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could check or do to figure out the cause and fix it? Thanks in advance for any help. |
